General Agency Agreement and Power of Attorney (GAA)
- The GAA is a legal requirement of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). Without an original GAA in the name of the Importer of Record, you cannot legally act as a customs broker and/or clear goods at the border. The CIFFA GAA has been created to accommodate the new CARM requirements that will be introduced in May 2024.
